For over a decade, neuroscientists have been trying to figure out how neurogenesis (the birth of new neurons) and neuroplasticity (the malleability of neural circuits) work together to reshape how we ...

Health experts will wax lyrical about fitness' impressive physical impact, but its effect on the brain and subsequent benefits for cognitive function and mental health can't be overstated, either.

When it comes to defining neuroplasticity, there’s a little quiz that neuroscientist Sandra Bond Chapman, Ph.D., likes to pose. Think about how much control you have over changing the health of your ...

There's a remarkable change taking place within your brain every single day and chances are, you don't even realize it. Every time you overcome a bad habit, acquire a new skill, or have a new idea, ...
